NEON has used a few labs for it’s mosquito pathogen testing since its initial construction phase. Currently, it appears that UMass will be conducting the pathogen testing for the coming years. We can see that University of Illinois detected a lot of West Nile Virus in 2014 at in Sterling, Colorado. It appears that the lab contract fell though and since then, West Niles has not been reported in such large counts.
